“Incredible’

Th 15 year old captured German boy actually made me cry. Shows the absolute insanity of the war.”

Mt father had barely turned 17 when he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps to serve his country during WWII.

He was not yet 20 when he left, having been severly wounded and healed, but the war was ended.

God bless him.

I look at pics of some of the “men” in WWII and they look like kids to me.
